Jason’s postings and stuff

My 20GB disk arrived last week. Today, I took to installing it in the laptop. First, I made some drive images to play with and I’ll be completing a tutorial shortly on mounting entire disk images under Linux shortly. It’s quite an amusing site to place in a completely fresh disk, add the first primary partition back with the same cylinder locations as on the older disk, then dd the Windows 2000 partition image onto the new disk and watch Windows 2000 load happily. No reinstallation necessary. If only that trick would work when moving to a box with new hardware. Fun stuff. (No Windows ™ were broken or injured during this experiment.)
